What in the World Is Your View?
A 6 Part discussion of James Sire's classic book, The Universe Next Door
I recently had the chance to sit down with my friend Monique Duson from the Center for Biblical Unity and discuss James Sire's book, The Universe Next Door: A Basic Worldview Catalog. We recorded a series of six conversations to help our followers understand the importance of a worldview. We spent time during each video to explore how each worldview understands the concept of race and deals with racism.
Sire’s classic work is described as follows:
For more than forty years, The Universe Next Door has set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. Using his widely influential model of eight basic worldview questions, James Sire examines prominent worldviews that have shaped the Western world
Below you can listen to each of our conversations and engage with me in the comments.
